Homework Answers
Ventricular fibrillation refers to the shivering or quivering of the heart which is supposed to pump the blood instead which can be caused because of the ventricular unorganized electrical activities.
The few nursing interventions for the referred patient are as follow:
- assess the severity of the condition of patient.
- check for proper vital signs after every2 hourly as it could fluctuate to show the signs and symptoms of any kind of complications.
- check for the level of consciousness using Glasgow coma scale.
- identify the possible complications which the patient might get
- provide the comfort devices choosing a comfortable position for the patient
- assess the requirement of providing oxygen for the patient
- keep the emergency medications and trolley ready for any immediate or emergency care

The immediate cause of many deaths is ventricular fibrillation, an uncoordinated quivering of the heart, as opposed to proper beating. An electric shock to the chest can cause momentary paralysis of the heart muscle, after which the heart will sometimes start organized beating again. A defibrillator is a device that applies a strong electric shock to the chest over a time of a few milliseconds. The device contains a capacitor of a few microfarads charged to several thousand volts. Electrodes...
